Confidence

Moderate - Forecast snowfall amounts are uncertain on Saturday

Weather Forecast

SATURDAY: 20-30 cm of new snow / Strong southwesterly ridgetop winds / Freezing level rising to around 1200m.SUNDAY: 40-60 mm of rain / Strong southwesterly ridgetop winds / Freezing level rapidly rising to around 1800m.MONDAY: 40-60 mm of rain / Strong to extreme southwesterly ridgetop winds / Freezing level around 1800m.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported in this region on Thursday. However, a natural avalanche cycle is expected to begin Saturday with the incoming storm.

Snowpack Summary

25-35cm of new snow is being redistributed by moderate southerly ridgetop winds. The reactivity of the new storm slabs is likely to vary greatly depending on elevation/ temperature and orientation to wind. In general, I would expect the touchiest conditions to exist in exposed, higher elevation terrain.
